[78-L] "Grandfather's Clock", Harold Williams, & D. Lennick

[David Lennick]

I have Fyvush's record.."Ich Bin a Boarder Bei Mein Weib". I used it on a 
Yiddish compilation years ago (either Intersound or Mastersound). Fyvush is 
still alive, by the way, and was seen in "A Serious Man" (Coen Brothers).

I'm sure I have that Kay Kyser around here. I forgot about it being on 
Screwballs in Swingtime, which was a really wacky LP. Running off speed, but 
still wacky.
